FoRTIFICATIoNs OF WASHINGToN.-The
annual report of Col. 2. c Hams, corps OF
engineers in charge of the Notifications OF
Washington, has been received by the chief
OF engineers. In regard to Fort Washing
ton, the report says "The construction OF
this fort was begun in 1916. 1t is case
mated work occupying commanding POSI-
ton on the left bank Of the Potomac river,
eleven miles below the city OF washington:
The masonry of the old work is still In good
condition, but as the fort was designed more
than half q century ago, it is not adaDted TO
receive guns OF modern size, or to defensive
purposes against such guns. Ia 1876 the
hoard of engineers for Notifications approved
naps for a modification of the demilune,
converting it into battery of modern con-
struction, with guns of large caibre. The
platforms for four Of these guns Wero built,
and the magazines partially so, when work
was suspended for lack of funds. 1hree
other batteries were planned ana re-
ceivod tho approval OF the board OF en-
gineers for ratification, bat no WORK has ye'
been done on them. TEepsns ofthesa bat
teries should be modified to conform 10 the
latest improvements in defensive works be-
fore their construction is begun. The build
ings unoccuped by troops are generally IN
commended, rs it is of more Importance to
mount few guns or to finish the magazines
and parapets." OF Fort Foote, Col. Hams
ssys: "This carihwork is situated on the
left bank of the Potomac river, and only
miles below Alexandria. 1t commands the
water approaches to that city and to Wash
ington. The work was commenced in 1862
In 1872 the board of engineers approved
protect for the modification of the old fort
and for the construction of an additional
battery. Work was in progress on the form
Ell when suspension became necessary by
reason of the failure of appropriations. No
work has ever been done on the proposed
new battery and none on the old fort since
1874 AT the present time the condition CT
the work may be described as one Of utter
diiapidation The magazines, which at
the time of the suspension of operations
we're in an unfinished condition, are rapidly
going to ruin. The parspet on the water
front was hardly begun wheR work ceased,
consequently there would be no cover for
the guns that could be mounted. There are
five gun platforms laid, four front and one
centre They are built of coocrete and
granite, and are servceable. No guns are
mounted. The plans of the work require
revision The buildings are all constructed
of perishable material and are rapidly going
so decay

THE COUNTY DELEGATES AND TIE DEBT
QUESTIONABLE. J. f. Clements, one Of The
delegates 20 the Roanoke convention from
Che county last night being asked his views
in regard to the settlement of the State debt
said he was in favor Of a speedy and AMIGA
nie settlement-the best compromise set
tlemeut tha; could be made for the interest
of the State ana at the same time acceptable
10 the creditors. He wanted to see the State
debt question out of both politics and the
enurts as it was 81 great bugbear. and kept
Immigration and capital from the State; pre-
vented people from buying and settling upon
SIS vacant i,nds, and had 3 tendency to i'm
pair the financial standing of her merchants
aud business men generally.
Mr.. Frank Hume was not in the city to-
day and could not be seen in reference to the
matter. His intimate friends, however, say
he is in favor OF a speedy settlement of the
debt question on the best terms that can be
agreed upon between the State and her
creditors, regardless ofthe Riddeborger bill.

KITTEN DRowNING.-The Clerk OF the
Market complains of the number of kittens
which are brought to tho market early IN
the mornings and deposited under the
benches there. He says almost every day
he has to send number of kittens to the
river and have them drowned rs the only
means of disposing OF them. The kittens
arc brought to the market in covered bas-
kets, by persons too tender hearted to kill
them, and are hid under the benches. The
Clerk is of course expected to look out for
the kittens, but instead of providing homes
for the foundlings has to drown them lest
they accumulate too rapidly. He is willing
10 drown kittens occasionally, but objects

Free With His Money.

A well-known citizen was found on
First street yesterday morning by
Officer Dan Lynch in glorious state
of intoxication. He was standing in
the middle of the sidewalk with each
hand extended full of gold inviting
passers-by to step up and help them
selves. When taken to the police
station $4S6.55 in gold and silver was
found scattered through all the pockets
OF his clothing. In his pocket was
found contract whereby he agreed
to sell to James S. former ct al. for
$l34 900 the rancho Encino, situated in
the San Fernando valley and contain
ing 4, AGO acres. The contract was
dated yesterday and acknowledged
the receipt of $500 as part OF the pur-
chase price. He had evidently only
had time to spend few dollars, but if
it were not for the vigilance of Dan
Lynch he would have undoubtedly
spent it all or perhaps have fallen into
the hands of garroters.
